Overview
- Early voting ended Sunday with about 735,000 ballots cast, including roughly 151,000 on the final day, quadrupling the 2021 pace according to election officials.
- The latest PIX11/Emerson College/The Hill poll shows Zohran Mamdani at 50%, Andrew Cuomo at 25%, and Curtis Sliwa at 21%, with other recent surveys putting Mamdani’s lead near 10 points.
- Cuomo has narrowed his deficit somewhat as older voters have turned out in greater numbers late in the early voting period.
- Polls are open Tuesday, Nov. 4, from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.; registration is closed, and eligibility requires U.S. citizenship, at least 30 days of NYC residency, and being 18 by Election Day.
- A New York Court of Appeals decision written by Chief Judge Rowan Wilson struck down the city’s 2021 noncitizen voting law, effectively excluding more than 800,000 legal residents from local ballots.
